Kings is alive and well. I've been going there for years. They make great parts for the 1911 right there in the machine shop. I have their beavertail grip safety with the raised and checkerd pad on three of my 1911's. I have one of their flat faced target triggers on a Para frame kit. I purchased the kit from Kings before Para was making complete guns.
The gunsmiths there are very helpful and will often come to the sales counter to answer any questions you might have. They were very helpful when I was putting my Para kit together, even though I purchased it from them a long time ago.
